(NOTE: You must use public transportation on a regular basis to be eligible to vote)

I'm currently in the process of improving sanitation on public transportation (Buses specifically). As part of my data collection, please vote for whichever category fits you.

I need at least 100 votes.

If you were a millionaire I don't think that you would use public transportation.

Unless you felt like bragging about your wealth, with the knowledge that you won't meet any other wealthy ego holders on public transportation.

Or if you live in New York...
 
The vast majority will be in the middle class (all the middle class ie upper middle, middle and lower middle) bracket. At least 95% I bet.

Also there is something called the working class. Not all of them are in poverty.

Anyway voted.

I voted, though its my current situation living with my parents, when I leave home and go to Uni I'll almost certainly be broke. :lol:
 
I don't use public transport at all but if I had voted, it would be lower middle class. To get the bus from my home town into Reading town centre (roughly 10 miles) costs about £5 a day. That's why the buses never have anyone on them.

Out here in the coiuntyside, everything costs a fortune. Anyway, when I do use buses, there's usually used chewing gum stuck to the floor, the seats are torn or badly damaged and in the morning, they are quite dangerous in some parts of Reading.
 
There should be a 'working class' option..im not in poverty, so i chose 'lower middle class'
 
There should be another one under the bottom option called "broke ass college student".
 
Now, I do use public transport but I don't think wealth is directly related to class.

Working class people get rich sometimes and wealthy people sometimes loss it all, that isn't to say the lose their class, too.

I think it would be better if you focused on wealth instead of class, i.e:

Super wealthy
Moderately wealthy
Average wealth
Below average wealth
Impoverished.
 
Well, I fit into two categories here. At home with my parents, as a family we're in the top 10%. Out here at University in Halifax I fit into "broke-ass college student".

When I'm at home I don't use public transportation, I live in a town of 6000, and we don't have any public transportation (Unless you count the twice a week short buses that run from my town to the town 10km away and cost $12 for a round trip). Halifax has a pretty good bus system, and taking the car out to Halifax made no sense.
